A year ago, FBI (from big island) bodysurf queen, Noni Roberts, introduced us to Kua Bay, a little gem on the Kohala/Kona coast. Last year, were some barely-rideable shore-break waves.
Heather & I connected with Noni again, in a return to Kua Bay.
The beauty of the little, white sand bay lapped by clear azure water is a reflection of our host's beauty of spirit. Noni gives true meaning to the word aloha, bringing us her home-grown mangoes while overflowing in her love of the water and anguish over the plastic bits spoiling the sands.
We had a little more surf today, as miniature, sand-dredging, 2 and 3 foot (faces) slabs pounded in foot-deep water. So wonderful to bask in the warm (low 70s) water, squeezing into mini-tubed closeouts as Heather floated outside the break.
Not an epic surf day, but an afternoon in Kua Bay with Noni will always stick in memory.

Hank! Thanks for your kind words. It was really nice to see you and Heather again. Later, my usual beach-clean-up was a bit frustrating as I couldn't collect all those tiny bits of plastic along with the load of other trash I gathered, no matter how many times I picked it over, new batches kept washing in. I had to jump back in for a few more waves just to regain my sanity!
